The Hyson Green Methodist Free Church is an old church building in Nottingham, England. It is located where Noel Street and Gregory Boulevard meet in an area called Hyson Green. This building used to be a place where people gathered for Methodist services. Today, this historic building has a new purpose: it serves the community as the Hyson Green Community Centre.
History
Building the Hyson Green Methodist Free Church began a long time ago. The very first stones, called "foundation stones," were put in place on October 21, 1895. The church was designed by a team of architects known as Frederick W Dixon.
The community needed a new, bigger church. Their old chapel on Lindsay Street had become too small for everyone who wanted to attend. John Lewin of Netherfield was the main builder for this project.
The front of the church building is made from special materials. It uses Ruabon Terracotta and Darley Dale stone for its decorations. These materials give the building a unique and lasting look.
After many years as a church, the building changed its use. It first became the Hyson Green Girls' Club. Now, it is known as the Hyson Green Community Centre. It continues to be an important place for people in the Hyson Green area.
